The best tax advice you’ll ever receive: AVOID CHARITABLE TAX SHELTERS
Last week, a longtime colleague of mine sent me a link to some promotional material that a charitable tax shelter had recently distributed. The material was trumpeting a “win” in the Federal Court regarding a procedural matter for a taxpayer involved in a charitable tax shelter. To “celebrate” such a “win,” the tax shelter was offering a discount, for a “limited time” to its subscribers for its latest offering. As I read the material, my stomach turned. For those of you who know me, it will be no surprise that I despise charitable tax shelters.
